Adding and configuring DVB-C channels

Configuration of DVB-C channels is done under Account > DVB-C channels. Here you define the DVB-C channels available in your network. All channels in the resulting channel can then be selected in the user interface when you set up a DVB-C test or monitoring.

Modulation: The modulation used for the channel. Valid settings are: 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM, 128-QAM, and 256-QAM.

Pnum: The program number of the channel.

Discovering DVB-C channels

Netrounds has a built-in channel discovery function for DVB-C channels.

Change "Test Agent:adapter" to the Test Agent that is connected to the DVB-C distribution network.

Indicate the frequency, symbol rate, FEC, and modulation conforming to the TV distributor.

Click Discover. The discovery scan will only cover the channels in the network information table in the DVB-C stream with the frequency given. To get all available channels, you may have to perform this procedure repeatedly.
